Oregon Pacific.

The contract has been let for the work
of the construction on the Oregon Pa
cifie railway eastward of Albany to the
summit of the Cascade mountains.
Contractor Nelson Bennett, who has
been engaged in railroad work on the
Northern Pacific, secured the contract
for the construction of forty miles of
the new road. 1t is expected that the
work of construction will commence at
the east bank of the South Santiam
river, follow the line of the permanent
location to and across the crossing of
the North Santiam to a point constitut-
ing a distance OF about forty miles
Then starting from point in the Cas-
cade mountains, in the pass known as
Hogg Pass, and thence westward along
the line of the permanent location for
a distance Of ten miles, including such
additional work as shall be designated
by the general manager within thirty
days from date of contract, eastward
from the end of the first thirty miles.
1t is expected that the work of con-
struction viii commence as soon as the
tools and appliances can be forwarded
to the front. The works will be push
ed to completion as rapidly as possible,
and consequently will give employment
to great many men. Track-laying on
the portion of the road already graded
between Albany and the Santiam has
commenced. A force of seventy-five
extra Cinnamon was also put ON this
portion of the road, and will be COM
pleted Immediately, in order to furnish
means of transporting the materials for
work Oh the road eastward

The variety of compile ted chairs in the
theater make it a matter Of con.
Germ to get safely seated. To women the
problem is rendered further difficult by
bustles. A reporter watched two girls
as they took their places in front of him.
These girls having found their places with
reasonable directness, looked at them care
fully, and turned rodnd. They could not
we'll twist their necks about, as the dog
does, to see that they do not escape their
mark, but they settle slowly, with an I'M
d~ulatory motion, after the manner of the
cat. That great tournure, you know, is
elastic as well as rigid. and it only needs
that it shall be crushed in the right way
for it to resume its original fern without
accident when the pressure is released,
but if a sideways pressure is exerted
upon it becomes a critical moment for
the dress. Now, it does not follow that
a girl can sit directly down upon the
tournure with safety to it. 1t is a recalci-
trant creation and resents being driven. 1t
may be coaxed, but an attempt to subdue
it at one fell swoop is likely to end disas-
trously, for it will slip away to one side,
and then, if it is not hopelessly out of
place, the wearer will have to begin all
over again. So the girls had to come
down slowly, waving their bodies from side
to side, bringing pressure to bear upon the
tournure gently. and finally ~insinuating
themselves into their chairs when the hustle
wasn't thinking.-S. +. Post.

A Prolific Family,

ST. LOUIS, October 2S.-A remarkable
group of ladies are Mrs. Norman Taylor of
Norborne and her three married daughters.
Mrs. Taylor has herself twice given birth
to twins, a boy and a girl on Zach occasion.
One of the daughters, Mrs. Preston s.
Pounds. of Norborne, married in 1874, is
the mother of eight children, three of
whom were delivered al a birth. These
thriplets, two girls and a boy, are row six
years old and are healthy, strong and
bright as any parents could wish their
children to be. At birth the boy weighed
eight pounds and the girls seven and six
pounds respectively. Mrs. Pounds is 80
years old, six feet in height and weighs ITO
pounds. Her husband is three years older,
five feet in height and tips the beam at
only 100 pounds. Mrs. Pounds sister, Mrs.
Henry Shafor, is the mother of a pair of
hearty girl twins, now 9 years old, and the
third sister, Mrs. Robert Turner, of Stat
ford county, Kan, has a son and daughter
born on the same day, who are now 8
years old and may live to 100, so far as
perfect health and physical soundness are
concerned.

A Change of Venue.

The trial of Hugh Karnahan, tor the
murder of George Fox, was called up in
the District Court Thursday. After ex-
hausting the jury panel but eight jurors
were secured. Mr.. George w. Baker, of
counsel for the accused, then made a plea
to transfer the ease as well as that of J. w.
Owens to Eureka. This was opposed by
District Attorney Love. Finally a change
to Elko was granted in both cases. This
will be quite an expense to out county, as
the cost for witnesses will be heavy. But
it cannot be helped as long as jurymen
hold unchanged opinions in murder cases
from every rumor they hear. We learn His
Honor delivered a severe reprimand to
those jurymen who claimed to be biased
simply from reading or hearing of the case.
We do not believe the defendants have i'm
proved their chances by the change. In
this case we have as near as we could,
avoided any criticisms or ever extended
notice, lest we should prejudice the public
mind and make it hard to obtain a jury.
Now that the case is taken beyond the
jurisdiction of this county, it is not out of
place for us to say that the murder of
George Fox last Christmas morning was
cold-blooded and unproyoked, and that his
stayers deserve no more sympathy thar
they showed their unfortunate victim. If
crime would be lessened its perpetrators
must be punished.-White Pine News.

Local

The Philadelphia Times has an article
on the value of the local newspaper, and
its remarks should be carefully considered
by everybody. 1t says: "The country
newspaper is the most useful of all the
agencies which stamp the impress of pro-
gress upon village and inland cites. With.
out any aid of local newspapers towns are,
as a rule, thriftless and dead. 1t is COM
mon for small great men to speak with
contempt of the local newspapers, but the
village newspaper makes great men out of
less material-bricks without ~straws-than
any other factor in politics, and it is the
one ladder on which men climb to local
distinction as the beginning of wider fame.
The advent ofthe localnewspaper has always
dated the increase of the thrift of the com
munity. The local newspaper is the life of
the locality and the measure of its support,
as a rule, measures the advancement Of the
Deople."

Chinese Need Not Appyy,

A lady in Brooklyn has just had a singu-
lar experience. She engaged a Chinese
servant to do upstairs work. He appeared
in the afternoon, was all bows and smiles,
and at dinner that evening waited on the
table in excellent style. She thought she
had a jewel of a servant. After dinner he
requested to be allowed to go to New York
to see about some clothes. He went and
that was the last seen of Chinaman No. l..
She tried another with the same result. A
third was tried. He stayed two days and
then left early one morning before break
fast. The lady told a friend who had been
in San Francisco the circumstances. This
friend said that housekeepers there had
found that when a Chinese servant left a
place he didn't like he put some mark,
usually of a character so slight as not to be
noticed, on the kitchen wall. The next
one, of course, would see it, and thus learn
what his predecessor thought of the place
and act accordingly. The first servant the
lady employed didn't like the situation for
some reason and so left the place and prob
ably his mark. The others saw it and left
on account of it. The lady says she is
through with Celestial servants.

The news of the death of Henry
Edgerton comes from California. A
wonderful man was he. Among men he
occupied the position that certain horses
occupy upon the turf, horses that have
bursts OF speed that no other horse can
equal, but at the same time possessing
in6rmities of temper which prevent
their ever winning a race. He had a
bright mind, systematically bright in
some respects, a splendid presence, a natu.
raj grace Of oratory, a wonderful com.
mand of language, and a voice as glori.
could meet him in debate; he could
charm a crowd away from almost every
speaker; while he talked men were his
slaves and listened as they would to the
enchantment of celestial music, but they
carried nothing away with them except
the impression that they had been
charmed. He did not possess a character
which drew men to him. He had no
faculty Of claiming the souls of men to
him and making them his friends through
evil and through good report. The very
splendor OF his ~eloquence made them
fear him. This world is made up mostly
of hard work, and who would think of
hitching a whirlwind or a sunbeam to a
pillow? Men at night sprang upon the
benches and applauded Edgerton until
they were hoarse, but if they had use
for a lawyer the next morning, they went
to some ~plodding worker who did not
seem so far removed from them. Men
attended a political debate and laughed
and shouted at Edgerton's humiliation
of an opponent, and the next day voted
for his opponent, because they feared to
give the public business in charge of a
genius so unearthly. So Henry Edger.
ton chased phantoms all his life, phan.
toms that pointed ever up the path
which leads to immortality with the
tehipIes IN lulI view at the top, and the
wonderfully gifted man believed in them
and followed them until, it seems with.
out notice, the specter stole up behind
him and, in a moment, stopped the
yearning and the hope. He was such a
man as every man welcomed and caressed,
but not such a man as any father would
wish his son to be. His life was made
up of brilliant triumphs and humiliating
failures. He had the eagles wing, but
he lacked the persistency to sustain his
flight. From his life of broken hopes
and ungratifed desires, the rest that has
come to him must be most welcome

The San Francisco Call says three Of
the condemned Anarchists have signed
a petition for c%lemency. The letter ar
raigns the court hat convicted them
rather than themselves. They state
that they have never advocated The use
of force except in self-defense. They
have never conspired to commit an un.
lawful act. The object of the Hay.
market meeting. which resulted. so dis.
sstrously was to protest against the
commission of murder. The following
sentence needs explation: "We believe
in our duty as friends of labor and
liberty to oppose any other use of force
than is necessary in the defense of sacred
rights against unlawful attacks" The
whole theory of Anarchism rests on the
assumption that the right to oppose the
exercise Of legitimate authority may be
determined by the individual judgment.
These men say they have never advocated
the use of force except in self.defense.
Self.defense against what? Against the
processes of law, is the inevitable an.
swer. The Haymarket mob exercised
the right of self.defense against the pc.
lice that sought to disperse them. In
this exercise of the right OF s~elf.defense
a bomb was thrown among the police,
which caused the deaths for which these
men are held to be answerable. They
claim that they were acting in self.de.
Tense. So may any citizen claim who
kills an officer charged with the duty Of
arresting him. The lawabiding citizen
submits to arrest, even though conscious
of his innocence, and trusts to an ex.
animation of facts for his justification.
When the condemned men say in a petit
ton for clemency that 1--WE believe it to
be our duty as friends of labor and
liberty to oppose any other use of force
than is necessary in defense Of the sacred
rights against unlawful attacks" they
assume the right to determine for them.
selves when the use of force is justiiable.
Government is impossible except as the
individual surrenders certain rights to
the community collectively, and it is a
part of the unwritten law of revolution
that individuals shall refrain from action
until the cause in which they are inter.
ested has received the sanction of a con.
siderable proportion of the whole. But
the Anarchists, perhaps one in ten thou.
sand, conceived that the time had come
to use force ever at the cost of human
life. They assert that they were not
personally guilty, but the court found
that they were. The rulings upon which
this verdict was found were sustained
by the Supreme Court of Illinois, and
the Supreme Court of the United States
could find nothing in the proceedings of
the State Court in conflict with the Con.
stitution or laws of the United States.
Before the condemned become a proper
subject for clemency, they must sur.
render the right they claim to be judges
in a matter which civilized government
in all ages has contided to the recognized
authorities.

The Fast Train,

The rush of people to California has been
the means of inducing the U. P. and G. P.
to put oR extra trains. The G. P. has been
severely pressed by the Santa Fe road,
with whom it was forced to divide the
business over the Southern route. Now
the g. P. has the decided advantage, be.
cause with the assistance of the U. P. it
will be easy to turn the tide of travel over
the Central route. This is by far the
shortest and safest route across the con.
tinent, and the G. P. has the advantage of
the business from the d. 4. r. G.. A rail
road man said yesterday that the G. P. was
in a position now to make the passenger
business pay, because it could offer the
people from the East tie advantage of two
routes to California, with fast time over
either. There will be lively times among
the railroads when the fast train starts, as
there is every reason to believe that the
Santa Fe people will declare wal on the
G. p, and in that case the U. P. will be
bound to protect the G. P, and with two
roads to contend against, and the WELL
known aggressive policy of the Santa Fe,
as an incentive to action, the chances are
that the war will be both long and bitter.

The White Pine News says: Quite q
scene is said to have occurred on the pub.

The dramatis persona to the affair were an
old lady who resides down the valley and
Ex-Governor Adams. The madam had he,
dander up and went for the Governor,
with tongue and claws in q manner that
almost paralyzed the lookers-on. But the
Governor, who is gallant as he is brave,
defended himself only ~ protecting his
face from the fierce attack, and assuring
his assailaa that her conduct proclaimed
her every inch a lady. All who wit
messed the affair tell us the assault was en-.
tirely ~unprovoked, and the Governor i.
highly commended for his forbearance
under the trying order. The Governors
assailant was Mrs. Mollison, an oil. lady
who has many warm friends who will re,
grett to learn she let her temper get the
best of her judgment.
